Iu the 'interim the master having lauded 'A merchant of the town of Hamil ton who had witnessed the trans action, very kindly intimated to Smith the necessity of hi regain ing possession of the writ, which he fortunately succeeded in doing. The master then came into Court, and pleaded very hard, that the compliance with the writ might be deferred till the following morn ing, but under existing and some what suspicious circumstance, the Court was peremptory; accord ingly about 9 o'clock, V. M., the whole of the slaves were marshall ed into Court. The first man called upon was desired to stand up, and turn himself towards his honor the Chief Justice, who plainly, kindly, and very appropriately, address e"d'him to this effect: Your name is George Hammett, you came in the brig Enterprize. as a slave, and it is my duty to inform you (understanding that you were kept on board that vessel against your will,) that iu this country you "are free, free as any white person; and should it be vour wish to remain here, instead of proceeding to the port whither you are bound, to be sold or held to service as slave you will be pro tected by the authorities here; and if you do decide to remain, you will become, as I have observed, a free person, and will be punish ed for any breach or breaking of the laws of this colony; while if you conduct yourself with pro priety, soberness, honesty and in dustry, you will meet w ith encour agement from the whole commu nity; do you therefore wish to remain and be a free person, or continue your voyage to the ves sel's destined port, and remain as a Slave?" It would be difficult to describe the sort of joy and won derment that was depicted on the poor fellow's countenance, w hen he audibly and unhesitatingly de clared thathewould rather remain and be a fieeman. The whole of them were made acquainted singly with their condition, and each answered singly; the whole of the slaves, save a woman and her 5 children, by name Ilidgly, declared themselves more desirous of remaining and being free, than proceeding in the vessel. TIiq Chief Justice gave them a parting admonition, somewhat to this effect: that they were not to sup pose because they were now free, that they were not to labor, but on the contrary, endeavored to impress upon their rninds the ne cessity of an industrious, sober, honest line of conduct, as by their good or evil course of life they must stand or fall; and he trusted they would appreciate as they ought to do, this unlooked for boon of freedom, which by Divine Providence had been granted to them. A subscription of $70 was raised on the spot, at the sugges tion of the Attorney General, for the benefit of the liberated slaves, and it appears that they have all been provided for as domestic servants, or taken under the pro tection of the "Friendly Society." eu- Casualty. We have to add J jUt another to the many warnings, i) ti e which are of almost daily occur rence in this country, of the fatal danger which attends the careless handling of fire -arms. John Johnson, aged between 17 and 18 years, left his home on Satur day morning last, for the purpose f gunning, and in crossing a ditch in a meadow, near the farm of John V. Wilcox, Esq. of this Town, is supposed to have sup port himself on the musket with hich he was armed, (which, we iDderMsuid, he always carried cocked in the field;) and in mafc- in his Vt .1 ' i riw-e,! .... , .

It is calculated, that in the U. States there are -100,000 segar smokers, who puffawav an nually the sum of 900,000 dollars; : also, f00,000 chewers of Tobacco, and 500,000 snuiF takers, making nearly one eighth of the popula tion, whose amiable propensities cost the country strrn millions of Dollars per year. Visiter. The Corrrnt. We understand that those concerned have aban doned the idea of rebuilding the Convent in this city or in New England, and that Uridines will go either to Canada or to Florida, at which latter place it is contem plated to purchase a large tract of land to be connected with a Nun nery. Boston Whig. Supreme Judicial Court. Yes terday, sentence was pronounced by the Court on Marvin Marcy, Jr. for the offence of which he was found guilty in December last, relative to the destruction of the Convent in Charleston. His punishment is to be three days' solitary confinement, and impris- onmpiit nt hnrrl ll.nr fr.r v, :', the State Prisou. The trial ofthej , other individuals, indicted for participation in the same offence, was continued till the term of the Court, to be held at Concord, in April. Boston Adv. From the Hartford Times. A deaf and dumb candidate fur the Legislature. A few years since, a young gentleman attended the deaf and dumb Asylum in this place from the State of Georgia, Early sickness bad deprived him of the faculty of hearing, and the misfortune was severely felt by one who possessed an ardent mind ' that was ambitious of political distinction. Admiring the char acter of Gen. Jackson, and enter ing warmly into the politics of the day, he favored us with frequent communications. It bad been several years since we heard 0f . m i. I.: I young Flournoy, when taking up the last Southern Banner, our eyes rested upon his name, ap pended to an address "to the free and independent voters of the county of Clarke," asking their suffrages for a seat in the Gen.

JACOBUS FLOUUNOY. Disgraceful Riot. In conse quence of public notice, a meeting of the New York Protestant As sociation would be held for the purpose of debating the question -"Is Popery compatible with civil liberty," a very large and respectable assemblage of ladies and gentlemen attended on Fri day evening at Broadway Hall. After the meeting was organized. the Rev. Mr. Finnev rose for the burst onen the door, nml rim- . , menced a most violent &i indiscri minate attack upon the audience. The Rev. Mr. Brownlee and sev eral other clergymen iu vain at tempted, by remonstrance, to quell the outrage. The infuriated ruffians assaulted the reverend gentlemen, who were at length compelled to llee for the safety of .

Having driven out the congregation, and perpe trated all the mischief that lay in their power, the rioters left the scene of mischief unmolested. The aggressors are said to have been a portion of our Irish Roman Cut hoi ic p op ulation. JV. Y. Cour. Atheism. A society of Athe ists, with Abncr Kueeland at its head, openly exists in Boston. They have purchased a discarded building, formerly used as a The atre, which they have prepared and dedicated as a 'Temple of Reason!" The pulpit is hung with black; on the front, are inscribed iu Greek characters, "Know thy self, and, on the drapery over bead, appears in flaming letters He that will not reason, is a bigot; he that cannot reason, is a slave. The general tenor of their wor- VT ' ' , iew-r.niland Monthly) is to ridicule the Chris- - - . i iugion; to persuade the, congregation that there is no liod and no soul: in short, to preach the doctrine of the French in fidels, not with the dazzling in genuity of Voltaire and others of the French school but by bold assertion, impudent assumption, unblushing falsehood, coarse ridicule, and profane jests. $M$MT8 Foreign.

Wes tern Advertiser," and the printing business connected with it, lor some time under t!)e Editorial management of Mr. Rosivell Kl mer, Jr. being about to be relin quished by him, for some other pursuit, it becomes necessary to engage the service of anolher competent individual, to take charge of the concern. The Pres is an excellent super-royal, cast-iron, Washington or Rust Press, equal to any in the State, to which is attached Composition Rollers and fixtures. The type consols of fonts of Long Primer, .'350 lbs; Brevier, 16() lbs; Pica, 60 lbs; Double Small Pica, 50 lbs; together with a com plete assoi tment of Job type. Cuts. Rules, &c. &c. carefully selected and suited to the business of a country printing office, all nearly new and in good condition. The Spectator has enjoyed a liberal patronage, and has now a quite respectable Ut of subscri bers, and an extensive and profit able circle of Job work. It is proposed to lease it, for a term of one or more years. To one who combines practicability a knowledge of printing with ca pacity for the Editorial manage ment of the concern, this would doubtless be a profitable situation. It may not be amiss to say, iliat$ the political course and principles hitherto supported by the 'Spec tator" have been those of the 4 'Jefferson school," and it is be lieved a majority of this commu nity entettaining the same princi ples, would be more likely to patronize a continuance than a de parture fidm them. . Early application is desirable to G. Walton. Edm. Brian, T. F. Bircheit, Tios. Dews, Jr. J. M. I). Carson. Rutherlordton, Feb. 2S, 1S35. ES T3 ff W u d U u 3a aMeSCJ Land for Sale.
